Description
A delightful twist on the classic burger, combining savory beef with sweet and spicy pineapple and jalapeño flavors, elevated by hot honey.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
- 1 can pineapple rings
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- Hot honey sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat to ensure everything cooks evenly and gets that delicious char.
- Combine the ground beef with the finely chopped jalapeño, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
- Form the mixture into four even burger patties. Cook the patties in the preheated skillet or grill, smashing them down with a spatula to create a crispy crust, for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last moments of cooking.
- Grill the pineapple rings on the same skillet or grill for about 2 minutes on each side until caramelized. Assemble your burgers by placing the cheesy patties on the buns, topping each with a grilled pineapple ring, and drizzling with hot honey sauce.
Notes
For a juicier burger, use ground beef with a higher fat content (around 80% lean). Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep them juicy.
